[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any word on Math during the BOE meeting?
[/quote]

Only the briefest mention.  Not really during the recovery of education piece, but there was a bullet item that referenced acceleration in item 9.1, the 2.5 year plan.  The discussion began around the 3:39:32 mark of youtu.be/2yJB-9bIbWY, and there was some discussion by Dr. McKnight beginning around the 4:19:50 mark about some students having had success during pandemic learning and summer factoring in to identification of gaps, with families and schools maybe having the opportunity to reevaluate a student's needs at the beginning of the next school year.  It was clearly focused on the learning loss aspect, but she did mention considering "if there are not gaps...how can we continue to accelerate?"  There really was no detail offered.  We're in the dark until at least the next BOE meeting or until we hear more official word from our local schools, I suppose, though it may be too late at that point to make substantive changes to the approach in response to family input.[/quote]

Like Ms. O'Neill said, I don't trust MCPS.  I think, despite assurances to the contrary and "engagement" with stakeholders, that they have a whiff of pushback from parents, so they're going to announce major math curriculum changes over the summer and hope that some large portion of the usually more informed parents are busy with life and won't be available to sound the alarm (again).[/quote]
